This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 198 Too fast!
After the degassing of the preseason training camp, the Charlotte Bobcats with all members finally ushered in the baptism of the preseason.

On October 10, the first game of the Charlotte Bobcats' full assembly was played against the Orlando Magic.

Zhou Lin only played for 10 minutes, and left the show to new aid Marion and rookie Sean Williams.

The former scored 27+12, while Sean Williams also scored 14 points.

In the testing stage, the Charlotte Bobcats defeated the Orlando Magic 94-89.

New aid Sharad Lewis of the Orlando Magic did not play in the first game, and the two sides stopped.

This season, the Orlando Magic are not only aiming for the playoffs, they have already aimed at the upper half, so the Charlotte Bobcats are no longer direct competitors in their eyes.

In his first game with the Bobcats, Sean Marion played very well. It was also the first time for Marion, who was under the attention of the media, to enjoy the No.1 treatment of the team.

Yes, the team management, including Bernie Bickerstaff, defaulted to Sean Marion as the boss of the team.

Sufficient shooting rights and team status have long been promised.

This is one of the reasons why Sean Marion is willing to report to the Charlotte Bobcats in the end.

With 4 wins and 3 losses in the seven preseason games, the team is almost running in.

Among the four new aids, Sean Williams and Sean Marion passed the inspection.

Second-round pick Ramon Sessions has a non-guaranteed contract and hasn't played yet.

However, he played fairly well in the previous summer league, and the team plans to throw him in the development league for a period of time, which is the difference in draft position.

Players in the middle of the first round will be given a certain amount of time to play no matter what, while players in the middle and later rounds of the second round need to work hard to perform well in lower-level games and strive for playing time.

In fact, he is a backup tire for Raymond Felton and Jeff McGinnis, plus Derek Anderson who can play the combo position, Sessions is at best the fourth choice at the point guard position .

Unless the team has a player injury or a trade is made, Sessions will play very few games this rookie season.

Veteran Chris Webber has not played yet, after all, his career is in his twilight years.

And suffered too many injuries in his career.

Although the young Chris Webber is not as good as Stoudemire's flying and escaping, Chris Webber still plays a bit violently, but now his function has degraded and his speed has slowed down. Defense has never been his strong point , Webber's role is more in support and shooting. His three-pointers were also developed at the end of his career, and he even shot 76% of his three-pointers in the season of the 40ers.

Bernie Bickerstaff did not schedule Webber to play in the preseason.

On November 11, the opening game started.

The Charlotte Bobcats ushered in the challenge of the Milwaukee Bucks at home. In this game, the core of the Bucks team, Mike Reid, paid for his recovery from injury, and the team came to the newcomer Jeff Green. The point guard Mo Williams and the Australian Tibetan Mastiff Bogut inside, and the 2001 dunk king Desmond Mason, form a lineup that seems to be a bit combative on the books.

But in fact, this lineup is problematic.

Mo Williams and Michael Reid have almost lost the ball. Both guards are shooting players who need the ball, but the defense is average and they are almost colanders.

Mo Williams, who is good at disrupting battles, is actually more suitable for playing as a sixth man, but the team just got a big contract to keep him, how can he play as a sixth man, and not every capable player Willing to be Manu Ginobili.

And on the team, Mo Williams was so conceited that no one but Michael Reid was worth his passing.

The head coach of the Bucks, Larry Kristkoviak, is not a very good coach either, and his tactics are not rich, so it basically falls into positional warfare, that is, Williams finishes shooting, Reed shoots, and Reid shoots. Over, Williams voted.

Back then, Yi Jianlian didn't play well in the Bucks, which had something to do with the team's lack of a good point guard.

But it should be better for Yi Jianlian to go to the Eagles now, after all, they will soon usher in epic reinforcements on the back line.

Upgrade from Tyronn Lue to Mike Bibby.

It can be said that the White Devil can be regarded as the first-tier point guard in the league. The passing is not fancy, but it is very effective. The scoring defense is also considered efficient among point guards.

You must know that after the Kings sent away White Chocolate Williams, who was "one man with the ball and nine panicked", they replaced him with Mike Bibby. One of the teams that wrestled with the peak Lakers in the playoffs.

In this game, the Bobcats took the absolute initiative in the third quarter, and the fourth quarter was almost reduced to garbage time. In the end, they beat the visiting Milwaukee and Bucks with a 109-89 advantage of 20 points.

The two outside cores of the Bucks both scored 20+, but together they took 39 shots and hit 18 times, accounting for almost half of the team's shots.

As Yi Jianlian's 'stand-in', Jeff Green took 3 shots in the end, hit 1 and scored 2 points.

机会还没有夏洛特山猫队这边的18号新秀希恩.威廉姆斯阿来的多，后者打了15分钟，6中3得到了7分4篮板。

而夏洛特山猫队这边表现的最好的无疑就是肖恩.马里昂，他全场22投11中得到了32分12篮板，其中略微有些不足的是，马里昂的三分球7中1。

Although Zhou Lin made his debut, his tactical status plummeted. He played 32 and a half minutes and only had 8 shots. He hit 5 goals and scored a decent 12 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds.

Another good performer is Raymond Felton.

He scored 19 points and 11 assists, and he was the player who performed the game second only to Sean Marion.

Other players Brandon Roy had only 9 points and 4 assists, and Emeka Okafor had 13 points and 7 rebounds.

Victory means everything. After the game, Sean Marion was surrounded by all the media.

32+12!

There is no doubt that this is a perfect debut.

"I broke the doubt. When Nash came to the Suns, I could score 20 or even 30 points per game. Of course, Nash is the best teammate I may have ever played with, but I am also more than you imagine. It's a lot better, I still have gas in the tank, and I have a lot more, and I can lead the Bobcats to a better record than last year."

At this moment, Sean Marion is probably a little complacent, and he must know that before he came to Charlotte, he also received a lot of questioning voices, such as: You are nothing if you leave Steve Nash; you are nothing if you leave Steve. Steve Nash, you're going to be a role player; it's Steve Nash who made you an All-Star.

Yes, it's all Steve Nash, a name that I respect and hate.

Could it be that if I leave your pass, I can't play the ball.

As for the media, they all began to praise Sean Marion, saying that his second spring had come.

But Zhou Lin didn't think so.

The team is playing too fast.

Yes, Bernie Bickerstaff seems interested in trying out the Suns style after acquiring Shawn Marion.

The offensive round, visible to the naked eye, was much faster than last season.

This kind of blind push also means that there will be more mistakes. It’s okay to meet an undefended team like the Milwaukee Bucks, but if you meet Detroit or San Antonio, can you still run?
You know, this team does not have Steve Nash, Raymond Felton will not become Steve Nash even in another 100 years, the team does not have Stoudemire, no one can A player who follows dunks at any time, Emeka Okafor's movement speed is definitely not fast in the position of power forward. Not a tier of players.

Of course, Marion is no longer that Marion, but Sean Marion who is determined to be the core of the team.

Sean Marion is definitely not a master of positional warfare, so in order to match his style, the team must run.

But the other players, Brezek inside, were basically abandoned, and he couldn't keep up at all.

As for Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy, let’s not say that they need to play with the ball, not to mention that the strength of the two is in positional battles. The same is true for Den Roy, who also has certain advantages in individual singles.

The current Bickerstaff's idea is probably to copy an Eastern Sun team, Zhou Lin's position is probably Boris Diaw of the Charlotte Bobcats, and Brandon Roy is the Charlotte Bobcats Raja Bell of the team.

Victory represented everything. Although Zhou Lin was a little unhappy in his heart, he congratulated Sean Marion on the surface.

In the locker room, Marion sprinkled champagne for the victory of the game, and the whole team seemed to be in the carnival of victory.

Zhou Lin still congratulated Sean Marion on his almost perfect debut.

But it was just a few words of congratulations, then packed up his things and went out.

On the way out, I ran into Chris Webber who had just driven.

In this game, Chris Webber played 7 minutes, 1 for 0, and no points.

Chris Webber asked Zhou Lin: "Young man, why don't you celebrate with your teammates, this is a hearty victory."

Zhou Lin smiled and said, "I think I have to train tomorrow, and I need to get enough sleep, so I thought about going back early, um, you, why did you leave?"

Chris Webb shook his head and said, "I have nothing to be happy about. I didn't even score a point. I should find a place to be sad."

"Then see you at the arena tomorrow."

Zhou Lin said through the car window.

"Why don't we go out for a drink, and you don't seem so happy." Chris Weber is a veteran after all, so he could see Zhou Lin's emotions.

"I can't drink yet."

"Forget, you are only 20 years old, and it will take two years before you can legally drink alcohol in the United States. Oh, when I was 20 years old, I almost just entered the league and played. I was the No. [-] pick at that time. How about it? Reject me, at least out of courtesy to a senior."

"Okay, where are you going?"

Zhou Lin thought that Chris Weber would take him to some entertainment place, but what he never expected was that Chris Weber took Zhou Lin to a recording studio.

"This is the studio I just finished in Charlotte. I will come back here as soon as I have time. I love music, and I can't live without it."

Chris put his fingers around his ears and said, "Did you hear it? It's my song playing now, what do you think?"

Well, I can only say so-so. Chris Webber rapped in that slightly vicissitudes of tone, but there were some words that were not suitable for children.

It seems that rapping is the instinct of black people.

"You are one of the best basketball players among singers, and you are also one of the best singers among basketball players." Zhou Lin praised subtly.

"I have played basketball for 14 years, and one day I will leave basketball and need something else."

Chris Webber took a CD, signed it and handed it to Zhou Lindao: "For you, my little brother, an out-of-print autographed record."

"Thank you."

"any drinks?"

"White water."

"Ok."

"Are you unhappy because Sean's arrival made you lose a lot of shots?"

After sitting down, Chris Webb asked with a smile.

Zhou Lin shook his head and said, "I'm just a second-year rookie. I have no right to complain about not having enough shots. It's just that I think there are some problems with the current Bobcats team."

"question?"

Chris Webb looked at Zhou Lin and said with disbelief: "Please, little brother, we just won. I have the right to say that I am unhappy because I didn't score, but if you feel that there is something wrong with the team, Did you think too much?"

"too fast!"

Zhou Lin drank his saliva and said.

"What's too fast?" Chris Weber wondered.

Zhou Lin explained: "I mean we play too fast. I think Bickerstaff wants to transplant D'Antoni's style directly to the Charlotte Bobcats, but the Charlotte Bobcats Not the Phoenix Suns."

"But the Phoenix Suns are a team that can win more than 80% of the season every season." Chris Webber said: "Even if we reach the [-]% level of the Phoenix Suns, we can stably rush into the Eastern Conference." Playoffs, even the top half."

Zhou Lin shook his head and said: "I don't think so, but our team has no soul and heart, without Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire, it means that the giants lack heart and soul, blindly imitating It can only make the team lose its original soul and heart."

Zhou Lin continued to add: "The first person is called creation, and the second is called imitation. The creator is praised, while the imitator is more condemned and restricted, not to mention that this may not be a successful imitation."

It's not that imitation and improvement are really bad. In the next decade, the Golden State Warriors developed a small ball game on top of Phoenix's run and gun, but the key is that Bernie Bickerstaff is not Steve. Cole does not have the madness of D'Antoni, and Curry, the three-point king who leads the era, has not yet come to the NBA.
